footage and race briefing (most recent) are not part of the same run but nice to watch if you want the vibe.
I am pretty sure I took the pic of Paddy in Crisis outfit with Campbell and Phil Hannam, and that nice guy with the accent who died of cancer.. who is on the far Left... im not sure.
this was in the day when Maquarie Place was a place where Brief Couriers and A1 Based themselves out of the alcove that the vans used to come to to fill us up with deliveries... at 3 buck minimum per job. Once upon a time when 2 way radio and paper ruled and a very few people had motorola Bricks as phones.. and most of them where builders. VIP Files from law firms covered in pink ribbon flowed like water, The fax machine was new and the bike courier was GOLD.

F*#@ I miss the good old days.
Cool vid yogi, I noticed the second group photo in the clip, the one from Pyrmont.
I think I've still got a few clips from that weekend. I remember getting chased around by cops doing the race, getting on the cans with all the cool kids and watching Danny (48Crash) ride a 16inch bmx off the wharf and into the drink.
Oh I still have alot of old news clips from Ch9 news stuff like-
Pedestrian Council protest at 6o Martin (the Top Gun days)
The Melbourne courier race
